BLACK EYED PEAS

 

Black-Eyed Peas is a hearty and soul-warming delicacy. This black-eyed peas recipe

is smokey, spicy, and pure delicious satisfaction with a deep yet not 

overwhelming ham flavor.

This is a traditional dish to serve on New Years Day to bring good luck!

Let's get our pot of good luck started.

Most important is a good bag of dry Black Eyed Peas!

In your slow cooker toss in...

1 16 oz. bag of dry black eyed peas

1 diced onion

2 diced jalapeno peppers

1 diced red pepper

Dice up one good size ham steak.

Toss the ham into the pot with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.

Next add in the seasonings...

1-1/2 teaspoons of cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Dash of red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Pour into the pot 6 cups of water.

Squeeze is 3 packets of good beef bouillon to the mix.

Toss is a bay leaf and give the pot a stir.

Put a lid on the slow cooker and set high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.

Get ready for your house to smell amazing all day long!

Pour the Black Eyed Peas into a cute serving dish and garnish with some chives.

Be sure to pour the Champagne!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe and my New Years resolution is....

I am going to make Black Eyed Peas more than once a year :)

Please have a taste of mine but be warned it's mine :)

Cheers to a Happy & Lucky New Year!

Enjoy!
